On a hostile border surrounded by sand dunes, the members of a young kibbutz are building a future, convinced that their small, isolated community embodies the future for all of civilised society. Collectively Yours tells the personal stories – of lovers, mothers, idealists and revolutionaries, as their lives are shaped by the unique society they are trying to create.
In the heat and isolation of the deserted borderline, the strains of collective living are heightened by the political stalemates surrounding the Suez Crisis and the Six Day War. Personal conflict, social pressure and the tense security situation combine to reveal the strengths and frailties of human nature. Narrated with poignancy and humour, and enlivened with cartoons from kibbutz magazines, these stories tell of a time when young people did not just dream, but put their dreams into action, believing they could make the world a better place. |
